    PHM accelerator pumps

    I was using my 1100 sport for work and had noticed that the fuel consumption was very low so one day when petrol started pissing out of the K&N I thought as I'd had the bike 12 years and I was very sure the bloke who had it before me had done nothing to it now was a good time to strip and...

    London ULEZ zone

    Bit of a local issue but may be of interest to those affected. At the end of August any non Ultra Low Emission Zone compliant m/c will be charged £12.50 a day to ride within the M25 ring road that circles outer London. Nitrogen Oxides and particulates are the flavours of the week and compliant...

    Ignition Coils

    Went for a ride 2 weeks ago on the V10 the crappy stucchi cross over split and the gear change ball joint sheared off. Ideal. (Here's the two types bytheway, bought a Mistral replacement.) Went for a ride on Sunday, lovely day almost unknown in England 35 degrees C, after about 15 miles the bike...

    Balancing the Throttle Bodies

    So, after stripping the bike down looking for an electrical fault on the loom that wasn't there including disturbing the tps I found there was no tickover. Following both the manual and Mikes excellent youtube video I set up the injectors again. It's still not right although I've done it a few...

    V10 Check Lamp

    So, got the bike out the other day, it started & ran for a bit gave a cough and died, long story short, no spark. I had a spare phase sensor and although the one on the bike was showing 680 ohms, I changed it just in case - still no spark. There is an RPM sensor listed too, also a magneti...

    New V10

    Ta-Dah, new Centauro - well 15k on the clock, 2 owners and a full service inc belts and fuel filter 1k miles ago. Couple of questions for those who have been riding one of these for a bit;- recognise this chip anyone? The first item I should have changed on my Stelvio was the chip, Todds chip...

    1100 carb air filters

    I bought my sport a few years ago but just can't do the riding position any more. Im changing it to a more relaxed position with handlebars and so on but are keeping it so that it can be put back to original. I have taken off the fairing & air feeds and air box and will be fitting k&n pods. I'm...

    Alternator Belt Replacement Summary

    The bike had now done 32k miles and in line with the service recommendations I thought I'd replace the alternator belt as it wasn't big money. I got the belt on ebay for £15.50 from Brooks Barn. So, remove the lighting bar, oil cooler, right hand plastics and the belt cover. See pic, 2 and 3...

    1100 sport front brake light switch

    Just putting the last bits back onto my 1100 sport ready for an mot test on 1st Feb when I broke the front brake light switch. Really what this strip down has been about, lots of the bits just getting tired and worn. £19 on amazon/ebay - or for a Cherry DC1 switch, which is what it is from RS...

    Up to St Petersburg the quick way and back the slow way

    Just a couple of lines about our 2 ½ week trip to St Petersburg this year on the trusty Stelvio. The trip started (and finished) in London going via, Ghent, Travemunde, Helsinki, St Petersburg, Tallin, Riga, Vilnius, Warsaw, Berlin and finally Munster. The bike has 3 x 45l givi panniers, a 50%...

    1100 sport swing arm

    Getting there, stripped it all down to get to the clutch plates (@ 6.65mm, min thickness 7.5mm) and while I was at it had the swinging arm, gearbox support and torque arm powder coated. Started putting it all back together and it looked so crap that I stripped it again and sent the rear sub...

    Problems at BMW HQ (with apologies;-))

    I cried with laughter watching this, I remember reading a thread on another forum of a guy who went to Norway in the winter on a C90 and took all the food he needed with him. There are some fine people out there with big cahonies. Watch this with a pinch of salt, it's not meant to offend.

    Warning - Brake Service Kit- (or lack of)

    So, when I sent my ecu off to Malibu for a new map I thought I'd use the downtime to do a few other jobs. One of these was to change the hydraulic fluid clutch and brakes. The front brake felt a bit graunchy to me so better safe than sorry I thought I'd fit a new service kit. I was finishing up...

    Tank Breather 1100 sport c

    After a fairly long ride yesterday in hot (for England) conditions I noticed that the fuel cap was making a noise trying to suck in air. I took the fuel cap off and it was clear that there was an air blockage. I'd noticed toward the end of the ride there was something a bit odd about taking off...

    EBC Discs

    21 k miles on the clock and my front discs are so warped they have become unusable. They started to warp quite quickly (around 5k) and although I have found reasonably priced replacement Brembos at Bike Torque Racing I'm wondering if I should replace them with EBC who I have always found good...

    1100 Sport Workshop Stand

    I'm so cross I was changing the fork oil and the bike fell over. My fault, it was good enough, cept it wasn't. Luckily I just knocked a bit of paint off rather than denting anything but f8ckin annoying and unnecessary. I paid at the top end of the monies for this one coz it was original and...

    1100 Sport Carb throttle

    So I'm getting the hang of the sport, it's a lovely bike with lots of useable power that's big fun to ride. I was a bit worried about the handling but after a bit of fiddling about have a bike that will hold a solid line round corners. What I do have a problem with is the throttle. I'll end up...

    Right hand head this time

    So lately it's always been the right hand exhaust tappets that have needed adjusting. We've just got back from holiday the service is due and there's a .7mm gap on the right hand exhaust tappets. The adjusters are a lot more in already than any of the other tappets. What's gone wrong, soft valve...
